Essential steps

The methodology that delivers real results

01

The foundation: a profile that holds up

Your personal profile is your landing page on LinkedIn.

  • Headline: what you do + for whom (not your job title)
  • About: challenge → how you solve it → proof/results
  • Featured Section: your best content or free offer
  • At least 10 recommendations from clients or partners
02

Objectives and campaign structure

LinkedIn Campaign Manager: clear campaigns with a single objective.

  • Lead Generation: Lead Gen Forms (a form directly in LinkedIn)
  • Website Traffic: send people to a dedicated landing page
  • Brand Awareness: reach within your target community
  • Retargeting: Website Retargeting + Matched Audiences
03

Precise B2B targeting

LinkedIn's strongest advantage over other platforms: professional targeting.

  • Job Title + Seniority: Director, Manager, C-Level
  • Company Size: choose the size of the targeted firm
  • Industry: the sector of activity
  • LinkedIn Groups: members of relevant groups
04

Lead Gen Forms: the format that performs

The pre-filled LinkedIn form means lower CPA and higher conversions.

  • Auto-filled data from the profile: name, email, role, company
  • Average conversion: 10-15% vs. 2-5% for an external landing page
  • Maximum 3-4 fields: less is more
  • Thank you page with a link to valuable content
05

Content strategy for organic + ads

Organic + Ads reinforce each other powerfully.

  • 2-4 posts/week for personal profiles
  • Mix: educational + testimonial + counterintuitive opinion
  • Thought Leadership Ads: promote the director's personal post
  • Carousel ads: a high-engagement format on LinkedIn
06

Budget and optimisation

LinkedIn is more expensive than Meta, but the B2B audience is worth more.

  • Minimum daily budget: 30-50 EUR for relevant data
  • Cost per B2B lead in Romania: 25-80 EUR (varies by target)
  • Bid strategy: Maximum Delivery at the start, Manual CPC once you have data
  • Audience exclusions: existing clients, competitors

Frequently asked questions

Is LinkedIn Ads too expensive for me?

LinkedIn is more expensive per click than Meta, but the audience is more valuable. A 50 EUR B2B lead on LinkedIn can be worth much more than a 10 EUR lead on Facebook, if the B2B customer's CLV is in the thousands of euros.

Organic or ads on LinkedIn?

Organic builds credibility and reach over the long term. Ads accelerate it. The optimal strategy combines both: post organically on a consistent basis + amplify with ads the posts that perform well organically.

How long until I see results?

The first leads appear within 1-2 weeks. LinkedIn's algorithm needs 4-6 weeks for full optimisation. Organic content: the first signs of traction within 30-60 days of consistent posting.
